Thought for the day:

For the Lord says about
His eternal ruler from Bethlehem,
"He will stand and shepherd His flock
in the strength of the Lord,
in the majesty of the name of the Lord His God.
And they will live securely,
for then his greatness

will reach to the ends of the earth.
And He will be their peace."
Micah 5:4-5

  1. Pumpkin is very American. They look so tempting in the shops, but the pet sheep won't eat them and they gobble up carrots. The girls' the big commercial hens won't touch them and they are gannets. We are disappointed with pumpkin soup every year, but all your recipes are so tempting I might risk pumpkin again. 😊

    1. Haha! You're right, it is very American. We have pumpkin everything at this time of year! I hope this recipe makes the difference!
